  The Bruins had a regular season that, while marked by injury and inconsistency, was still up to Boston’s mile-high standards. They ended with 107 points, actually 8 points lower than the less successful 2017-2018 season. Boston built on their incredible regular season with a remarkable and long playoff run eventually culminating in a game 7 loss to the St. Louis Blues.

NHL Top 100 Players Part 1: 100-76
NHL Top 100 Players Part 2: 75-51 NHL Top 100 Players Part 3: 50-26 The last part of the series shows the best 25 players in the league. This part is heavy on the Atlantic Division, as it features 5 members of the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3 from the Bruins and Maple Leafs, and 2 from the Panthers for a grand total of 13 out of 25. It also features 2 Capitals, Sharks, and Flames. 
The third part of the list features the NHL players who are considered to be upper echelon talent but do not quite make it to superstar level.
This portion of the series details the players who I believe are ranked 75-51. The highest ranked Canadien finds his way onto the list, and one of the 6 Florida Panthers also makes an appearance.
  This is the first part of a four part series which details the top 100 players at the beginning of the 2019 season.
What a special year for the Boston Bruins. From beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in 7 games, to blasting the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes out of the water, to eventually losing in the Stanley Cup, it was a truly memorable year. I wish I would be writing a happier article, but so it goes.
The Boston Bruins have gone to St. Louis and defeated the St. Louis Blues handily, by a score of 5-1. In a game surrounded by a lot of hype in St. Louis, the Bruins, with their backs against the wall, delivered handily, assisted by a stroke of genius by Bruce Cassidy in bringing rookie winger Karson Kuhlman into the lineup, who tallied a goal along with solid play on both ends of the ice, only to be accompanied by his outstanding speed, which allowed him to get in behind the defense and win puck battles behind net. The Bruins will return to Boston, where they will square off one more time against the St. Louis Blues for Lord Stanley on Wednesday night.
I have no words to say. The referees completely and totally mangled these last two games. Granted, the Bruins did not show up to play, even behind a rowdy Boston crowd. They were flat, and, frankly, sucked. Yet, the St. Louis Blues continued to get away with dirty hits, obvious penalties, and still managed to get ticky-tack calls on us. I will pay the referees all the money in my bank account (44 dollars, that's not even a joke) to start calling the game right. Yes, Craig Berube complained about you after getting crushed 7-2. That does not give you any excuse to give the St. Louis Blues all of the calls and 150% of the non calls for the rest of the series. Get your act together.
Game three of the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals couldn't have gone any better for the visiting Boston Bruins. Seven goals, a perfect 4-4 power-play, and 27 saves from their goaltender all factored into what was a dominating victory.
Game four however would see the home side respond. |
